How many moles of ethylene glycol must be added to 1 kg of water to make a solution with a freezing point of -2.4°C? The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86°C•kg/mol. What is the molality of the solution?

1.29 moles of ethylene glycol must be added to 1 kg of water to make a solution with a freezing point of -2.4°C. Molality of solution is 1.29 m.

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

= Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor (for non electrolyte , i = 1)

= freezing point constant for water=

m= molality =

m= molality =

Molality =

Thus 1.29 moles of ethylene glycol must be added to 1 kg of water to make a solution with a freezing point of -2.4°C. Molality of solution is 1.29 m.

the answer to this question is 3.
